Made from a base wine of Zibibbo from Pantelleria. Wine mixed together with a hydro alcoholic solution plus sea water and sugar. The caper berries, lemon, cucumber and Timut pepper are macerated then distilled to 60% abv; the wormwood, sage, bay leaf and grapefruit are infused individually in neutral grain spirit. All are blended according to the recipe and aged 45 days before bottling. The grapefruit comes through most strikingly and the Timut pepper adds a smokey feel. The seawater accentuates all of the botanicals, while adding salinity and the finish is quite dry.
